Now CNN reveals that on Wednesday, a day before the cardiac arrest, the 81 year old comedienne had joked about death.

She had performed at Laurie Beechman Theater and  a source, who was in the audience for the show, said Joan joked about death, teasing:

But you’ve slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart.” #LastTrainToHeaven #LoveMyTiti @officialtiwasavage

It Makes No Sense! Boy's Hilarously Smart Reaction To His Mom's Pregnancy Goes Viral

Posted in: , ,

A little boy was not so happy when his mom told him she was expecting another child. While his baby sister sucked away at her pacifier, the boy ranted about the pregnancy announcement being "exasperating", more children being "too much!" and how it makes no sense to him.

Out of the mouths of babes, eh? LOL...

You just have to watch this. Who else has seen a boy this smart mouthed?

#YesWeTan: Obama Wears Tan Suit To Press Conference, Sparks Twitter Craze

Posted in: , ,

President Obama was making serious comments yesterday about the threat that the Islamic State terrorist group poses, but social media, and especially Twitter was more obsessed with his tan suit.

Obama has worn that suit before, once on a visit to church on Easter Sunday, but his typical work-a-day suits are more dark-colored. I guess it didn't also help that after his 2-week vacation, the president is looking more tan than usual.

The explosion of tweets about Obama's tan suit seemed very contrary to the usual way people respond to male politicians or public figures in general. Usually, it is women that face this kind of commentary, the most recent case in point being Hillary Clinton when she ran for president, and even as Secretary of State.

Funny enough, the suit now has its own parody account with the twitter handle @BarackTanSuit.

The White House response: "He loves that suit." Yes, we do too.

See Obama wearing that suit with swagger at last year's Easter Service, and some of the Twitter commentary.

Resident Wants Ebola Index Case In Port Harcourt To Be Named And Hotel Quarantined

Posted in: , ,

We have discussed before whether Ebola infected or suspected cases should be named, and most say for legal and ethical reasons, it may be best not to. I think I agree. Before I continue, let us know this.

FACT! Ebola does not kill all in contact with infected persons. So far, the kill rate is 50% which is still not good, but let's not spread panic. 


I don't think it's necessary to name the ECOWAS staff who is the index case of Ebola in Port Harcourt, having been in contact with Patrick Sawyer, the Nigerian index case. I hear he/she is now Ebola free, he was treated and survived, unfortunately, the doctor who treated him contracted the disease and died.

Also, reputable news sources say the ECOWAS staff is being monitored in Lagos, if so, there is no need to release his name to PH residents.

But I agree that the hotel should be closed and cleaned up.

To all residents of PH, please do stay safe. Reduce your contact with crowds and strangers, wash your hands regularly and report anyone who you know is sick.

Below is an excerpt from the resident's mail to Ladun Liadi that spurred this post, as well as the full text of a TV broadcast by Rotimi Amaehi, the governor of Rivers State.
